One of my "favorite" injuries was when I broke my wrist in 7th (or was it 8th?) grade. The teachers were on strike that day, so recess was more or less unsupervised. A bunch of kids were trying to dunk a basketball by jumping off of chairs. I took a running start, but the chair slid out from under me as I tried to launch off it. I stuck my left arm back to break my fall. *SNAP*

Fortunately, I was in shock almost instantly. It felt as if I was stoned because I couldn't get over how funny my wrist looked so offset from my forearm. I showed everyone I could until someone convinced me to go see the nurse. I ended up fracturing both my radius and ulna. I didn't feel any pain until I got to the hospital with my mom and the doctor had to wrestle my bones back into place before putting a cast on me. I don't think the local anesthetic helped at all, and he injected me pretty good.
